If by any chance you forget to put the login.jsp page an error creeps up: The requested resource (/common/index.jsf not found) is not available when trying to access the Glassfish Administration console. You have to specify the login.jsp page to make it work.

One annoying things that took some time to solve was that on the Start page of Netbeans there are URL’s to several articles, blog posts and so one, but every time I’ve pressed one of the it say’s that it could not execute Firefox.

I’ve checked the path, permissions, and so on but with no solution.

Well the issue is quite simple:

Goto Netbeans Tools menu and select the last option Options. It should start on the general tab where you select the browser you which to use.

Select Edit and on the arguments for Firefox remove whats there: -remote “openURL({URL})” and just keep the {URL} nothing else.

On some applications J2EE applications deployed on WebSphere, you may have a two layer deployment: one server for the web layer and another server for the business logic layer. But for this to work you may need to enable global security and then to allow the communication between servers you need to setup LTPA between servers. On version 5.x and 6.0 just by moving the LTPA key from the business server to the application server and setting up the authentication method does the deal, and it has no need of intermediate steps to allow communication between servers.

On 6.1 version is not quite that simple, because RMI communication between servers runs now over SSL, and guess what: if an SSL session can’t be established, the communication is not possible.
